The Taker (Album) - Kris Kristofferson

Written by：K. Kristofferson/Sheldon Silverstein

He's a giver he'll give her

The kind of attention that she's never known

He's a helper he'll help her

To open the doors that she can't on her own

He's a lover he'll love her

In ways that she never has been loved before

And he's a getter he'll get her

By gettin her into the world she's been hungerin' for

He's a charmer he'll charm her with money

And manners that I never learned

He's a leader he'll lead her across

Pretty bridges he's plannin' to burn

He's a talker he'll talk her right off of her feet

But t talk for lonhe won'g

'Cause he's a doer and he'll do her the way

That I'd never damned if he won't do her wrong

He's a taker he'll take her to places

And make her fly higher than she's ever dared

He'll take his time before takin' advantage

Takin' her easy and slow

And after he's taken the body and soul

That she gives him he'll take her for granted

Then he'll take off and leave her

Takin' all of her pride as he goes

Yes he's a taker he'll take her to places

And make her fly higher than she's ever dared

He'll take his time before takin' advantage

Takin' her easy and slow

And after he's taken the body and soul

That she gives him he'll take her for granted

Then he'll take off and leave her

Takin' all of her pride as he goes
